Summer programmes were established at the University of Cambridge in 1923 with a view to widening participation in education. Now the Summer Schools regularly welcome around 1000 students from approximately 55 countries worldwide. Anyone over the age of 18 before the Summer School begins and fluent in English are welcome to attend these programmes. Many participants are undergraduate or graduate students, who are able to gain credit towards their studies at their home institutions. Others are teachers, faculty members or academics seeking to refresh and develop their own knowledge. Other participants, representing a broad range of professions and interests, are simply taking the opportunity to broaden their horizons and exercise their minds. Some see the Summer Schools as a useful prelude - or affordable alternative - to longer-term study abroad. Whatever your reasons for attending you will be sure to experience a challenging and fulfilling summer in Cambridge.
Every year the University of Cambridge provides two interdisciplinary International Summer Schools (Term I and Term II) alongside 4 separate special subject Summer Schools focusing on Art History, Literature, from Shakespeare to the present day, History, medieval to modern and Science as well as a programme in English Legal Methods.
